Cowboys and Aliens II Forum

So, it's probably no secret that Verity is my favorite character. Girl with attitude, forging her own identity in the West–what's not to love? So if you were picking an actress to play Verity, who would you choose?

Ohh boy, im gonna get smaked for this…but physicly I think Linsday Lohan would'nt be a bad choice. But she's a crack addict that cant perform to well under pressure. But her appearence would fit pretty well, she's redheaded, with freakles and all. ANd she can show a fair amount of attitude.

I can also picture Kate Beckinsale for some reason, though she's not redhead.

Ha! Smack. ;) She's a little younger than I think of for Verity, but yeah, if the little girl who played the twins in Parent Trap had grown up into a young woman who was responsible and mature rather than running amok, I might agree with you.

She's also cute in the new Herbie movie (which feels very much in the same vein as the ones filmed in the 50s). But that whole actress-gone-wild thing gives me a thumbs-down kind of feeling.

Aw, you know actresses–doesn't matter what their hair is naturally, it's all about hair artists!

I think it needs someone with a slightly heavier physique. These would be my nominations (pass the gold envelope please …!)

Runners up:

Catherine Zeta Jones - although known mostly for being the eye-candy in some pretty lightweight films (and for marrying men old enough to be her grandfather!), she rarely disgraces herself on-screen and in Traffic, at least, showed she does actually have some real acting ability too.

Rachel Weiss - again, not especially known for serious roles but can act and, in Constantine, showed she can lose her prim English accent when she has to!

First choice:

Joan Cusack - maybe more associated with comedy but I think she has real range and a quirkiness that means you never know quite she's going to do next.

I actually based Verity on Laura Prepon from that 70's show and currently on thenew ABC show October Road, I wanted a strong, curvy, yet attractive female to fit the character and that's who sprang to mind. . . secret out.
